Diving Pulau Tioman - September 2013

We planned this trip together with Diana Guo, a lady of Chinese origin I met during my last trip to Tioman. She brought her friends, Eva Wang and friend of Nigeria origin.

We arrived at B & J almost 3pm and missed the afternoon dive schedule. So we started drinking at the Jetty Bar, Sunset Bar and by the time, I was pissed, I tripped and fell several times. We continued with a short drink at Halo bar before we rested outside our chalets. Yup, things were not right.

I guess the Long Island Tea got into me ... my liver could not handle it! It went straight up to my head because my liver was slow to process the hard liquor. My wounds hurt and heart hurt so much. The blisters were physically painful and my heart was in pain about Garry's latest news.

On the next day dives went well, good visibility with good guide, Priscal (Korean girl .. I like her a lot). However, I could feel my congested lungs limited my breathing and consumed more air than normal. I took many videos of nudibranch and moray eels which were the consolation to the painful sores on my legs. Did a total of 6 dives and took pics and videos of the usual suspects ...

After these two trips to Tioman, I can say that if I have more time, I would dive somewhere else.
